RH Line

Campaign Spending

"I just can't believe how people get so uptight over the money being spent or who it's coming from or how much it is. What do they think? That all they have to do is spend money and the population is just a bunch of cows that will follow, just because the money is there?"

Medical Response

"I think the rural voters have brought up a very good point. Do we need firemen responding when an EMT would be enough? It's almost like every time we try to cut police, people scream, but then we see two police cars manning calls, (or) two state police cars that are always running the speed trap on I-25. Do we really need that?"

Defending Freedom

"To the caller who wonders about the yards signs that say 'defend freedom.' In Obama's quest to change us to a socialist nation, there are items too numerous to mention that he wants to take away. He wants to redistribute wealth and endorses gay marriage. Within a month or two, he along with Hillary Clinton, want to embrace a treaty with the United Nations to outlaw our gun ownership and seize control of the Internet along with taxing it."

"Is this person for real or maybe just living under a rock? Freedoms are not destroyed overnight. Just because you can go to the grocery store unmolested doesn't mean you are free. Freedoms are destroyed by a slow boil, for example the Patriot Act, the NDAA, the TSA, just to name a few. This is what those yard signs mean."
